THE SEARCH FOR MISS SCUBA PHILIPPINES IS ON!
IF you are a determined Filipina who is passionate about preserving and protecting our marine diversity and resources and empowered to take a stand for Ocean Justice, then you could be the next Miss Scuba Philippines 2017.
Miss Scuba Philippines, a pageant whose deeply-rooted advocacy is to protect, preserve and help save our oceans and its biodiversity, launched its search for the next titleholder at a well-attended event at Belmont Hotel, Resorts World Manila, Pasay City on July 12, 2017.
Saving Oceans Through Beauty is the core principle of the organization, now spearheaded by national director and Miss Scuba International 2015 Cindy Pacia Madduma who hails from Puerto Princesa, Palawan, the country’s last frontier famous for eco-tourism and marine sanctuaries.
Cindy took the challenge of great responsibility to select the next Miss Scuba Philippines who will reign and be an instrument of change, a symbol of hope and the voice of the oceans, not only in the Philippines but around the world as well.
This is only the third time that Miss Scuba Philippines is conducting a national search after the first pageant in 2012 won by Janicel Lubina of Puerto Princesa who eventually finished as top 5 finalist in the international tilt. Amanda Arbitrario of Panglao, Bohol won the search in 2014. The other Pinay delegates who were appointed to compete were: Christine Paula Love Bernasor of Ormoc City, Miss Scuba International 2013 1st runner-up; Cindy Madduma who became the first Pinay Miss Scuba International grand winner in 2015; and Meryl Angeline King, Miss Scuba International 2016 1st runner-up.
